Andersen 100 Series Casements and Fixed? Track records?

10 years ago

I have scoured the internet, including GW, for reviews on the Andersen 100 series windows and while there are plenty of "concerns" I have not found any actual reported issues on these windows especially the casements and fixed version of the 100 series. We had originally ruled the 100s out due to the number of "concern" posts about the Fibrex material but most are from around the time they were launched. We really would like to use a dark bronze exterior and white interior window and we have to create custom extension jambs anyway due to the exterior walls being 7" (SIPS) and 10.75" (Superior Walls Basement). The specs on the 100s appear better than Marvin Integrity windows (both have the color combination we want) and they are almost have the price currently on our quotes. The other window option we were looking at was Soft-Lite Elements which are superior for performance but do not allow the exterior color we want on the house- plus they are the same price as the Integrity package so the Anderson 100s almost half the cost, allow acceptable performance (Low E SmartSun Heatlock glass) and meet our exterior color needs.

Has anyone actually seen issues with the 100 series casement or fixed windows? Thanks in advance for your feedback!
